How to rename all instances of persistent variables?

Hello,

actually it is possible to rename all instances of a variable by pressing "shift + enter", but for some reason this doesn't work for persistent variables. I'm using R2016b, so may this be an issue of matlab release?

Thanks and regards,

Ferencz

Although written for clear the same explanation applies to persistent and any other functions using command syntax: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/command-vs-function-syntax.html

OK, that's a pity ...

Thanks for your quick reply!

Simply remove the persistent command temporarily, rename the variable and insert persistent again.

You can open the file e.g. in NotePad++ and perform the replacement there.
